Halloween Distractions

While I work on this week’s comic feel free to enjoy this Halloween costume I’ve been working on with my ridiculously talented friend Tina for the past couple weeks.

(and yes I did shave my head for real)

She makes a living on cosplay commission type stuff, so if you’re looking for some crazy lightweight foam fabricated armour or a Rorschach grappling gun or anything like that, it’s worth checking out her site!

Yeah I was wondering that myself. It’s obvious Awkward Zombie’s Katie is female but I just always assumed you were a dude. Can someone tell me where all these awesome girls live? The comic from January 17th, 2011 is a bit funnier now.

Oh my GOD, is it possibly for you to show us closer pictures of those bracers and belt pieces? Or have them uploaded to your friend’s site? The Discworld and Turian work blew my goddamn brains away. Awesome work!

Also this is like a glorious 3D rendition of Scowly Men, ‘cept we’re missing a few guys. And the head shaving is amazing commitment, you’re the man, ma’am.

Considering my fear of electrical razors, I’m unsure if I’m horrified that you would shave your head (no matter how awesome the consequences), or ridiculously impressed.
But either way, you may or may not have inspired me to somehow conquer that fear of electrical razors. And perhaps my fear of craneflies.

I think you underestimate how fast hair grows back…. I’ve shaved mine several times this year and it’s almost down to my neck at the ears…
Any haircut that requires shaving requires a LOT of shaving to keep up.
(And by the way why is everyone so impressed/shocked by women who shave their heads? I got a lot of similiar comments when I shaved mine…)

OMG! seeing this picture just reminded me of someone, and could be the reason why I like you so much. When I was in 9th grade, i was just a skinny tiny little shy thing (almost like Jared, maybe skinnier), and this senior took a liking to me, and she was a lot like you! Her kind-hearted nature with a kinda rough demeanor. But one day she just disappeared, I never got to say goodbye =*(

Wonderful comic as always. Took me a while before I could look at the sparkling vampire lineup without bursting into fits of laughter.
Then I scrolled down, and saw Krastos scowling at me… My gods, the makeup, the gear your friend made…
… The expression… The I’m going to punch you through your monitor expression…
Definitely looking through your friend’s site, kudos to them, that’s amazing.

Hey, Bilious, neat! And she’s a girl too? All this time I assumed that artist was a guy — probably because when I first encountered her on Gaiaonline, her avatar was a guy. Probably also because I cared more about the art than the artist.

Probably because everyone always assumes that a comic artist is a guy… Even when she’s made repeated allusions to the fact that she’s a she. And outright stated it. A lot. As have people commenting.
And besides, when you say ‘person’ everyone just automatically defaults to ‘straight white male’.

No, not really. I’m pretty sure it’s the reasons I stated. Other people may have other reasons, but these are mine.

As I said, I haven’t spent much time looking into the details of Bilious, nor her words or commentary. Just looked at her art, and saw her avatar on Gaiaonline. While her art was interesting and entertaining, I didn’t feel any urge to investigate until now. No need to preach to me. I’m well aware there are women artists throughout Earth’s history.

My experience with Bilious until now was just brief moments of “Hey, that art looks nice. What else is there I can look at on the vast plane of the internet.”

Natalie Portman in V for Vendetta, Jack (from the Mass Effect series- who should have been an option for same sex romance btw), Charlize Theron in the upcoming Mad Max: Fury Road, Even Demi Moore in G.I. Jane… yep, bald chicks are hot. ;-9
